My proposition of me as moderator

I'd see myself as a person with access to the moderator account, like a 'puppet' figure so to speak,
not to direct or guide anyone/the group
not to personally appoint appoint myself to sort out anyone's problems
etc
only to act for the group when the group asks it (me being part of the group).

Daisy, you said in one post that if there's one moderator they have to cop all the heat ... well it remains to be seen if something would challenge what I have to say here, but I feel at this point that I wouldn't be alone in moderating, I'd be one of the group as I am now, whose only real responsibility is to act on behalf of the group when asked to, and voted on.

I don't see this as the ultimate ideal, acting on the majority rather than reaching a concensus, but it seems to me that this is where we are at for now, and that we just used that system to re-empower the majority here in this tribe.

I feel like I have enough of a feel or connection with most of the speaking members here for now to feel I can handle what I'm proposing.
If I can't stand the heat, I'll get out of the kitchen,
and if people want me to leave and vote on it, I'll hand over the controls ....
(I might go through some rejection stuff and cry about it though!!)

I do want to say that I have a caring for this tribe, that hasn't gone away yet no matter how much I've felt challenged. I hear this from Daisy and others too, and see how tenaciously some of us stay ... that feels special.

Love, Semele

    I think any and all moderator decisions should require unanimous approval at least of those who've acdtively participated here over the past few years. Otherwise people who don't share the pov of "the group" will be marginalized and will have no voice, and those people also may include some who also care about this place just as much as you do. they just don't happen to share your point of view or the point of view of "the majority", but care about it all the same, and so should rightly have a voice.

    Also I feel this will encourage participation of more differing points of view and a better representation of how more people actually feel about things because they won't be intimidated and discouraged from participation by fear of going against the "majority".

    I personally suspect that the TRUE majority, does not participate for just such reasons. They simply fear not being received or listened to and so don't bother speaking up.

      What is meant by 'unaminous approval' if half the members aren't even here?
      I agree with Semele being Moderator on a temporary basis, up to six months.
      Karolina voices she doesn't like it yet can go along with it
      and I want to hear her out, as well as all others here
      let's move along too

        Sorry if it was unclear.

        Unanimous approval means that no one is overridden who cares enough to speak their feelings on a given issue. In otherwords if anyone who's an active member says, "I'm opposed to this", then it doesn't fly...

        Basically this is like Daisy's idea of the council only more inclusive as anyone who wants to be gets to be on the council.

          I am not saying Semele has intent to Decieve. I am saying that I feel that basically everyone who now feels like part of the majority has intent to shut out any who don't agree with their point of view, to not listen to them or give them any part of shaping the Tribe, but to cut them out of the process instead. That's not fair to person's who care about this place and have invested themselves in it to be excluded from the process of shaping it. Even if they in the majority think they have good intent, people still have gaps including Semele.

          If it had to be unanimous people would have to work thorugh differences on things. If someone disagreed then they'd have to be given a hearing and included in the decision making process, and whatever the idea was would have to go back to the drawing board and be in process until things were worked out to everyone's satisfaction.

          Semele expressed the opinon that a couple people expressing here a little while back were "trolls". I don't know if I trust or can go along with that they were. I'm not sure even what the designation really means, and I think its mainly just a judgment. I didn't read all of it, so I don't know what caused people to form this conclusion, but the one person didn't seem to feel they were a troll and strongly objected to the label being applied to them. aD, you feel pretty "troll=like" to me for the most part and always have, but apparently other people like having you around because they agree with the opinions you express here. Personally, I find your demeanor to be extremely caustic.

            When I was moderator of this place I was willing to be completely transparent and discuss openly my reasons for doing everything I did with anyone who had issues or concerns about it, but no one ever even asked or cared to try and understand why I did things. Instead they just labeled me a "tyrant". That's just how gapped people are here. I don't trust Semele. Not one bit. I have serious misgivings about her in fact.

            Sure you are the majority and you can shove me out and ignore me if you want to, but that doesn't make it right or loving what you're doing.

              And really all these ideas about council's and taking turns don't amount to a hill of beans because no matter how you do it, its really all about the people who share the dominant pov taking and keeping control, so it doesn't really matter the details of what you all come up with in the end or even who you put in charge of carrying out "the will of the people".

              My idea is a way of keeping that tendency towards control by the dominant pov in check and necessitating real communication, bridging, and understanding of one another in order to be able to move forward. I don't expect that anyone will go along with what I am saying or even give serious consideration to my objection. Though I am open to being pleasantly surprised, I expect I will be simply brushed aside... however, I feel its my duty to the principles of Love that I serve to give everyone the opportunity to do their part in healing the gap here.

    Intent is the KEY

    Thu, July 2, 2009 - 11:31 PM

    really all the rules in the world wont stop
    an individual who has intent to deceive,
    I feel semele has good intent and I am comfortable
    with her being the temporary moderator,
    a role that can be passed around
    to any interested folks.

          Another 'bad' post-thread up and gone by N
          Runt-speak, out-the-door heartless doorjam-speak

          So it seemed unsure what was troll, what's spam, what's sock-puppet

          Troll is posting very inanely, stupidly and the poster prob. not belonging there at all. Often like young teens making prank phone calls. The piurest redneck.
          In the case of Roger, it's borderline and mature people might be tolerant and understanding of either his mistake or his search for a right place.

          Spamming is repeating the same messages and of course, the ads.

          Sock-puppet is when a person takes on an additional account, avatar and uses it to raid places.

          Nathan has aced all these while STILL thinking with self-importance way out here and long after the moderation position changed,
          projecting like a banshee.

          Besides, what's he talking about, about Semele anyway? If no one understands..just rage expression, unfounded, ungrounded, and feeding SOMEthing of that nasty world. A get-off. Well, what do you think we need overt permissions for? Until then, I don't allow such get-offs. You leave or I leave or it stops, whatever.

          How we know when a rocket blasts off to Space, it tends to hurt quite the whole planet. Bear with
          (and know it'd be hard to trust N when the going gets rough); this he wonders aloud about 'forever'. His fear.

          Hey, it's a long haul with it, likely, so save the power, ya think?

          Karolina could train you a bit, only it's hard to tell which is more powerful-rage or fears. Now rage we can knock out before it aligns b/c it hardly cares what Planet it's on, but fear is more a coexisting state.
          Pls allow some surmisings above,
          thank you

              'I think any and all moderator decisions should require unanimous approval at least of those who've acdtively participated here over the past few years'

              I find this confusing coming from you, given that while you were moderator, you did not even listen to the majority.

                  What? Nathan, the moment you stopped listening to the members here is the moment we stopped listening to you. You are full of shit. Don't you remember making ultimatums and deleting people and posts? Every time I tried to post something at one point, you would delete it before anyone could even read it. You have sent me bullying emails privately telling me to shut the fuck up and asking me to leave the tribe. I am not the only person that you did this to, Nathan. As soon as someone disagreed with what you were doing, they and their posts were gone. We don't have to listen to you at all anymore if we don't want to. And why should I listen anyway? You just keep saying the same thing over and over again; "I didn't do anything, it was all of you!"

                    Daisy,

                    If we go back to the beginning of this latest conflict. what actually happened was that I gave you some feedback you didn't like after you came into my "reflections of a dead man" thread and took a potshot at me to try and trigger the rage you sensed I had and when i didn't take the bait you started hijacking it (conducting your own seperate coversation in the middle of it) with auxdieu). when I complained about this and requested that you stop, you immediately started accusing me of being a tyrant and calling for my overthrowal as moderator.

                    that doesn't sound to me like someone who is willing to listen.

                    Nathan

                      And that's right by the way, I DIDN'T do anything other than express my truth of the moment, which I have every right to do. Apparently a lot people seem to have a big problem with that, you in particular.

                      Just because I happened to be the moderator at the time does not mean I don't have the right to express my truth here.... and just because I am NOT moderator any longer now doesn't mean I don't have the right to express my truth here either.

                      everything that ensued from that incident, I wash my hands of. you were never playing fair. My only job now is to recover, and not allow it to happen again.

I don't think its your fault. Its just really difficult gap and i'm sorry it happened this way and i wish you no ill either. i hope that you can come to peace with it in yourself too if you haven't yet.

            rage expression works
            when it comes from love. it's utterly healing.

            without that love we get, child abuse, rape, atrocity
            all the scary evils of this world.

            with that love, which RUoW readers might remember Source suggests applying to all attempts to move Rage, what do we get?

            i do my best to understand...


            all the emotional expressions are NEEDED, they HAVE to come up!
            if they don't come up in love,
            in some lifetime we've ALL witnessed -- and suffered -- from rage
            that DOESN'T love or view love or heart expression as 0-- oh, yah heard?

            awesome

            i'm gonna stick up for Nathan cause I KNOW HE'S FUCKIN TRYING as hard as others.

            as far as people getting online to dump on others and fling geekspeak around, well,
            i know about that. it's generally impotent and annoying, like geekspeak in general.

            i'm gonna go flog my blog now.

    semele:


    why don't you 'just do it' an for that matter -- modertors, leaders of all kinds are obsolescing themselves in this new age...i KNOW that.

    all leaders have almost ever done is "help people stop thinking for themselves..."

    but this MATER-ial
    is here to help us find harmony, feel together and grow...
    after a while it won't be necessary.

    i would say that for the RUoW groups
    someone who wanted to be a moderator
    would HAVE TO UNDERSTAND the concept of Judgment Release (first book, pg. 16)

    otherwise people who are working out their own patterns of judgment, denial and "fear presenting as avoidance patterns"
    will subtly bully the chosen moderator into constantly being a judge,
    negotiating petty disputes and
    getting farther and farther away from fresh, vital and new emotional movement.


    you should just do it & accept the loving help of others.
    \cooperation and partnership rather than leadership and subjugation.

    and damn it fucking ALL
    if people don't start showing nathan some love and healing vibes it's all a big fucking sham
    and they just crucified him. glad i wasn't here for that.

    people are acting like he had No Caring. Now his heart's a blazed out, scorched-Earth Heart.

        i watched you crucify him,
        as simple as that.

        i will argue my feelings
        with people who love me,
        judging voices online sometimes LEARN

        to let that judgment GO.

        for me it is second nature.

        nathan may have been wrong about a LOT of stuff.

        a lack of compassion is what it is,
        it's the SAME GAP, the ONLY gap,
        not yours, not mine, not Seth's,

          And Now you claim to “have watched you crucify him (Nathan)”.

          Make up your mind Mikal either you were “off-line” and ignorant of what was going on with Nathan. OR you watching ‘us’ crucify him. Which lie you going with Mikal?

    being suckered by newbie people into situations where you are ASKED TO BE THE JUDGE IN DISPUTES.


    that happened to seth at RUoW anarchy so much
    that i was led to pity the aged father fragment that he is...

    don't go out like that,
    is what i am advising

    cf: judgment release...


    the more you divorce yourself -- any of us
    divorce ourselves from judging mind

    the closer we get towards vibrating the dense heart area that we are sharing currently...


    ...more heart vibration = more love and real feeling shared.
